EtherPad, A ‘live’ notebook.
It’s been a while since I last wrote about something Technical, so it’s about time that I wrote another article more aimed towards the technical side of things. As many of you will know, I am developing a tool. At times I have wanted to show some people bits of my code without them seeing the whole thing. In those cases, I would have to copy the bit of code, save it to a text file and send the text file to them. If they would then edit certain bits I wasn’t sure what was edited, it required lots of effort. Now the other day, I got invited to something I found really handy. It’s called “EtherPad”.
EtherPad is a ‘live’ (online) notebook (or notepad) that offers real-time collaboration. Multiple people can work on the same text simultaneously which it really attractive to me as a developer when I want to show other people bits of code without revealing all of my source code. The best part of it all. It’s FREE! You can find this amazing service at http://etherpad.com/ .

Wow, good to see you enjoy working with this tool! I really found it helpful when I discovered it, and the other options out there really didn’t cut it for me. <3 EtherPad!
